Praised be Jesus Christ,
In the fall of 1985 and winter 1986 there was an ad in the
Wanderer and National Catholic Register:
***
BOOK OF HEAVEN "The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will".
In 31 lessons the Most Holy Virgin teaches us how to do the Will of
God as It is done in Heaven--As She did.
It would be inappropriate to charge for a book so holy as this.
For free copy write to:
House of the Divine Will (and it gave their address.)
***
I sent for the book, with a donation, read it, and found it was
indeed a holy book. Since May 1988 the Sons of the Divine Will now also
publishes a periodic booklet, MAGAZINE OF HEAVEN. (About $20 would cover the
cost of a yearly subscription.)
Their publications, and the books, "The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of
the Divine Will" and "The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" are
life changing, life transforming publications. (The cost of materials for
these priceless books is $15 each.)
Beautiful booklets, about 33 pages, "I have come as King" and "Living
Clocks of the Passion" are also available. They also have explanation
sheets about making the consecration to the Divine Will, a "Divine Will Pray
Book" and other publications.
They have no defined policy on contributions, as they always depend on
Divine Providence. They are happy to offer these books and printings free,
but rejoice when people make offerings, because this enables them to pay for
various expenses, which include printing, postage, vocation recruitment, and
other good projects for the Reign of the Divine Will.
In the July 1988 No. 3 issue "Magazine of Heaven" there is a recent photo
of Pope John Paul II with three priestly members of the Community Sons of
the Divine Will, with these words from Fr. Gustavo, S.D.W.:
"As you see, I wanted to head these lines with the photo of His Holiness
the Pope, surrounded by his sons of the Divine Will. This is to remind you
that today more than ever we need to be with the Pope..."
"Regarding obedience to our Holy Mother Church and to her teachings, you've
always heard us say that this is a fundamental point of our Constitution.
So, there is nothing contrary to the doctrine of our Holy Mother Church in
all the writings of our dear Luisa--model of obedience--and in the
commentaries we make."
Luisa Picaretta, "the Little Daughter of the Divine Will," was born
April 23, 1865, and died March 4, 1947, age 81. The last 64 years of her
life she neither ate, nor drank. During this time Jesus related
to Luisa the beauties of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. The canonical
process for the beautification of Luisa was opened on November 20, 1994.
